You Need to Calm Down (Taylor Swift Parody)

You tried to find a rental place in The Mission
Now I was ready to go.
And that’s exactly what I am.
“It’s 17 grand.”

Then I ask a question at City Hall.
Is there any chance we could have new construction?
They’re “no way.”
It’s unacceptable.

“See? We’ve deducted that we need to make a huge reduction
For any new construction. You kidding?
It’s a real success. Ok.
We can now open the floor for public discussion. What?Uh oh! Uh oh! Uh oh! Uh oh! Uh oh!
I would be devastated.
Not in my back yard!
They’re exactly likeUh-oh! Uh oh! Uh oh! Uh oh! Uh oh!
Marred community
Not in my back yard!
It is my hometown.
Calm down
You could change the character of it.
It’s neat in our neighborhood
The guy just fell on the sidewalk.
We want low income housing!
New construction kills
This type of housing is being constructedThis area has more jobs than the rest
This has led to a large number of people driving around in Saabs.
They’re pausing, because they don’t know where to go (GENTRIFIERS!
Sticks and stones have never made new homes.

So Uh oh! Uh oh! Uh oh! Uh oh! Uh oh!
It’s not difficult.
Not in my back yard!
They’re exactly the same!

Uh oh! Uh oh! Uh oh! Uh oh! Uh oh!
Stop!
Crosswalk
It is my hometown.
You need to calm down…
